Youth Weekly Sewing Class:

• 1. Agreement To Follow Directions and Code of Conduct

  All participants must agree to observe and obey all posted rules and warnings, and further agree to follow any oral instructions or directions given by Pretty Sharp Pins Sewing School LLC, or the employees, representatives, or agents of Pretty Sharp Pins Sewing School LLC. Including the following:

  • Be respectful to all participants and staff.

  • Take direction from staff / instructors. 

  • Refrain from using abusive or foul language.

  • Refrain from causing bodily harm to self or other participants.

  • Refrain from damaging equipment, supplies, and facilities.

  • Refrain from harassment of staff / instructors or participants.

   Student Conduct and Disciplinary Action

  First Warning: If a student is not following the rules and regulations of the class, they will receive a verbal warning from the instructor.

  Second Warning: If the behavior continues after the first warning, the student will receive a second verbal warning.

  Continued Misbehavior: If the behavior persists after the second warning, the parent or guardian will be contacted and asked to pick up the student from class early.

  This policy ensures a respectful and conducive learning environment for all students.
  
  2. Attendance Policy

  • Please arrive no earlier than 5 minutes to class. Doors may be locked if you arrive earlier than 5 mins. This allows our teachers to prep properly for each class.

  • Late Arrivals (more than 30 minutes) to any class, camp or workshop could potentially forfeit the class/camp.

  • Students who withdraw before the end of the school year may not complete their current project. We try our best to help students finish and take projects home within a specific timeline, but this is not always guaranteed and depends on each student’s pace and learning style. Sewing is an art, not a science — and every student’s journey is a little different! Students are encouraged to attend regularly to build skills and complete each project fully.

  3. Illness Policy:
  For the safety of all students and staff, please do not send your child to class if they have had a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or other contagious symptoms within the past 24 hours. If a student arrives visibly ill, parents will be contacted for early pickup.

  4. Makeup Class Policy
   Eligibility for Makeup Classes

  • To qualify for a makeup class, families must submit notice of a student’s absence by 11:59 PM the night before the scheduled class. (Example: For a Tuesday 4:00 PM class, notice must be submitted no later than Monday at 11:59 PM.)

  • Absences must be submitted through the Parent Portal only.
    Absences submitted via phone, text, email, or in-person conversation will not qualify for a makeup.

  • While a makeup credit may appear automatically in a family’s account, it will only be honored if the absence was submitted by the required deadline.

  • Makeup classes are not guaranteed and are offered as a courtesy when space allows, in appreciation for families who notify us of absences in advance.

   Makeup Scheduling Rules

  • Makeup credits expire 30 days after the original missed class.

  • Makeups may be scheduled up to 1 week in advance through the Parent Portal.

  • Students must be currently enrolled to use any available makeup credit.

  • Once a makeup class is booked, it is considered used—rescheduling is not permitted, even if the student is unable to attend.

  5. Late Class Pick Up Policy

  Students must be picked up within 5 minutes of the scheduled class ending time. If a student is picked up more than 10 minutes late, a $10 late pickup fee will be applied. After the 10-minute mark, an additional $1 per minute will be charged for each additional minute the child remains at the studio.

  Late pickups impact the studio’s ability to prepare for the next class and require additional staff supervision. Families who are repeatedly late may lose access to makeup classes or risk suspension of enrollment. If a delay is unavoidable, we ask that parents contact the studio as soon as possible. Transition periods between classes allow our teachers to get mandated breaks and give time to prep for the next class. We want to make sure every student is safe and taken care of. 

  6. Classroom Access Policy:

  To ensure student safety and maintain a calm classroom environment, parents and guardians are not permitted inside the classroom during class unless specifically invited by a staff member. Please wait at the door during drop-off and pickup, and exit the studio promptly after your child is dismissed.

  7. Withdrawal Policy

  To withdraw from any class, a parent or guardian must complete and submit the official Withdrawal Form online OR send an email to info@fabrictofashionsewingschool.com by the 20th of the month prior to avoid charges for the upcoming month. No refunds, credits, or chargebacks will be issued for missed withdrawal deadlines.

  8. Tuition Payment Failure Policy
  If your payment is declined, you will have 10 calendar days to update your payment method in the Parent Portal. If no valid payment method is on file by then, a $20 late fee will be applied. If payment is not received within 14 days, your child’s enrollment could be dropped and their spot may be given to another student.

  It is your responsibility to ensure payment information is current and valid before the 1st of each month.

Camp Policies:

• Camp date Changes and Cancellations made 7 days before the scheduled class/camp will receive a full refund.

• Date Changes and Cancellations made within 7 days of the start of a camp will receive a 50% refund of their camp fee.

• No shows will forfeit their camp fee, no exceptions.
